ABUSE & BETRAYAL
The band’s early years were overshadowed by the three Wilson brothers’ abusive father and manager, Murry Wilson. His controlling nature even led the group to fire him in 1964! Shockingly, in 1969, Murry sold the rights to their songs for just $700,000 – a fraction of their potential value, which could be worth around $100 million today.
